Day 204 : Arrival in Bangkok

• Arrived on the train at 8am – taxi to Sivarin Guesthouse – very clean and comfortable, although it seems a bit out of the way from downtown.
• Took a boat along the river and then the SkyTrain into town. They seem to have forgotten to take their Christmas decorations down.
• Feeling tired from the train, we went to see Sherlock Holmes 2 at the cinema – we wanted to go for the full VIP cinema but they were only showing rubbish films but we still got a sofa seat. Before each film the whole cinema stands for the national anthem.
• Bit of a nightmare getting back to the hostel because of the traffic – none of the taxis would take us!
